Stacking Up The Wins

Believers are like everyone else – we are human. Humans are imperfect. Believers are imperfect. For me, trying to think about how to go for long periods of time without making mistakes is challenging. I have talked with many believers that struggle with different things in their lives. This morning as I was thinking about life, of how precious each moment is. If you read yesterday’s post, you can understand why I am thinking about each moment. We all have those times when something magnificent happens, and we remember them well. It is this thinking about the moments of victory that made me realize something. God does work in stages, and will give us what we need to get on track.

Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

Isaiah was telling those that had erred that God would rebuild them. God gives us what we need to get on the path to victory. He is all about helping His people learn to follow him more closely. He is there to fight our battles for us. We need only take the time to listen, to learn, and then to do. Every moment counts.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

If we want to be victorious in our spiritual battles, we need only spend some time with our Father. If we do this daily, we will prepare ourselves for the battle. If you are struggling today, don’t think about the whole day. Think about the next five minuted. Then the next five, and the next five, and so on. Even if you only win for five minutes, that is a win. When we stack these up, day after day, we will live more victorious days, and more victorious lives.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You. You alone are worthy to receive our praise. You alone are worthy to receive the honor of our words. You alone deserve our whole hearted commitment to You and Your ways. Please forgive us when we stumble. Please help us to win these moments. Send us to day the victory, the deliverance, the healing, and the abundant provision we need today. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
